It's been a year of surprises and tumult and for the Windy City Rollers' four teams: The Hell's Belles broke The Fury's 14-game winning streak, and the Double Crossers celebrated their first win in, well, forever, though they forfeited their win. After much roller-skating ado, it's come down to the two top teams -- The Fury and the Manic Attackers -- duking it out on the track in the Windy City Rollers' Ivy Cup Championship on Sat., June 2.
The Manics have been unbeatable this season with ramped-up blocking skills building defensive brick walls that stymie opposing jammers.
The Fury have had an uneven year, but remember that 14-game winning streak? Yeah, they didn't earn that by being slouches. The gals in the white and orange will definitely give the Manics a run (or skate) for their money.
This is it, folks -- the derby game you want to be at. The 2012 championship will take place at 6 p.m. at the UIC Pavilion (525 S. Racine)
Tickets start at $20 in advance. Find yours online or at the door.
